"We are thrilled to continue our relationship with Carson who has broken the mold, creating his own unique late-night show format with Last Call," NBC President of Alternative and Late Night Programming Paul Telegdy said in a statement. "The show has become a platform for emerging artists - and Carson's engaging interview style has made it the place for insightful conversations with an eclectic group of new stars as well as established icons and news makers."

The news comes as NBC prepares to overhaul part of its late-night programming, when Jimmy Fallon succeeds Jay Leno as the host of The Tonight Showin spring 2014. It is still unclear who will replace Fallon as the host of Late Night, but SNL'sSeth Meyers is rumored to be a front-runner for the gig.

"I'm extremely proud of what we've accomplished with Last Call," Daly, 39, said. "I love coming to work every day and having the opportunity to collaborate with this incredible team. We are always looking to give viewers something new and fresh that they can't find anywhere else on television. I'm grateful to have the chance to continue doing what I love the most."
